Following a successful call for abstracts, GESGB are pleased to highlight new speakers for December's CCS4G Symposium:

Margaret Copland & Kirsty Simpson | North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA)
What Comes First? The Site/Complex Definition or Legacy Well Assessment (Chicken or Egg).

Michael Flowerdew | CASP
Feldspars in CCS Reservoirs: Overlooked or Unimportant?

Dr. Simon Schneider | CASP
Assessing the Sealing Capacity of the Triassic Haisborough Group, Southern North Sea: Insights from a Continuous Core Succession in North Yorkshire.

They will be joining Dr. Alexander P. Bump (The University of Texas at Austin), Dr. Anne-Mette Cheese (Wintershall Dea AG, Denmark), James Hamilton-Wright (bp plc) and Sarah Pietraszek-Mattner (ExxonMobil). 

With the global race to net zero accelerating, carbon capture and storage (CCS) is rapidly transitioning from the drawing boards to project delivery. In 2023 alone, dozens of new CCS geological storage licenses were issued worldwide. Today across the globe a record number of projects are on the runway for FID (financial investment decision). This rapid growth presents a significant opportunity for geoscientists in our community to re-purpose their skills and expertise to apply them in what is the biggest issue of our generation.

Following the success of previous years and in response to demand from the membership, the third one-day symposium from the GESGB will delve into the exciting geo-technical challenges and opportunities of geological CO2 storage, helping to equip attendees with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in this rapidly evolving field.

The symposium potentially offers opportunities for learning, research, emerging technologies, networking, collaboration and making contacts with potential partners. Plus, opportunities to discuss supply chain, employment trends, technical collaboration, public perceptions, public engagement and HSE aspects.
